- Page 7 The images on the following pages indicate proper valve positions for different functions of the sprayer. ● Application Mode: Your valves are to be in this configuration when you are applying liquid de-icer. The most common error that is made in application mode is that the agitation valve (on the upper right of the image) gets left open.
- Page 8 ● Self-Fill Mode: Your hose must be connected to the bottom left camlock and your valves need to be in the configuration shown when you are using the pump on your sprayer to self fill from a holding tank. A common mistake made here is that the tank valve (back left) gets left open, this won’t allow the pump to prime as it will be sucking air from the tank.

- Page 12 Wiring, Fuses and Electronics Flow Meter The flow meter on your unit is the green device inline with the plumbing on the pressure side of the pump. This vital instrument tracks the flowrate and volume going to your spray boom sections and your hose reel if so equipped. This realtime reading is what tells your GPS rate control system to increase or decrease the flow rate to your boom based on your speed by opening or closing your proportioning valve (see next item).

- Page 15 Be very cautious when using a test light or multimeter inside of your VSI Control Box as shorting out a connection point could lead to your main computer being rendered inoperable. The color coded diagram above shows the wire color for each pin, keep in mind, t his view is from the back of the plug (showing the wires going into the plug), so it is a reversed/mirror image from the numbered image above.
- Page 16 #6: GPS signal wire out- This wire leads to your GPS puck that is magnetically mounted above your wiring/circuit board box. This is a water tight seal, do not remove wire unless instructed by a VSI associate. #7: Right bank (rb)- This is the right bank of wire connections from the main harness as referenced in the numbered wiring harness diagram.

- Page 18 Work Light and Strobes: High quality work light bar and strobes are IP67 rated. One note of caution with the work lights; they draw more current than the Honda motor charging system is able to supply back, so if you will be running long shifts without time to charge your battery, we would suggest not running your lights more than necessary to preserve your battery for vital functions such as operating your boom section valves, flow meter and proportioning valve.
- Page 19 The signal receiver for the 2.4ghz total control remote can be seen next to the gps puck in the image above. The remote controls all of the same functions as your VSI Spray App does, but for those that have ridgid mounted phones or tablets in your trucks, the remote is a nice backup option for operating lights, strobes, throttle, choke, etc..
- Page 20 Care and Maintenance Proper care and maintenance is essential to the longevity of the sprayer. Be sure to clean the sprayer after use, ensuring that all salt and road spray are removed. Make sure the choke, throttle, and other engine components are sprayed down with a penetrant and lubricant product like Fluid Film, JB-80, or WD-40.
